At first it looks like one man in a kilt and hat is clinking miniature whisky bottles with two friends, whose arms are outstretched.

But there are four drinks - suggesting there is a fourth person in the picture. So can you see them?

Uploading the Reddit snap to Twitter, a social media user said: "My brain refuses to believe there are 4 people in this photo."

And internet users were left stumped trying to find the fourth person, with some wrongly believing the bag behind Mr Kilt is a person.

One pleaded: "I'm confused... why are there only "3" arms, yet "4" bottles?"

Another wrote: "Me looking at this photo asking myself if im blind or if theres something more going on here."

Meanwhile, a third simply gave up and said: "Nope, canny see it."

It's only on a much closer inspection that you can spot the camouflaged sleeve attached to a blue gloved hand at the left-hand side of the picture.

After a close examination, one Twitter user said: "I zoomed in, stared at those blue fingers for a good 30 seconds trying to figure it out.

"Multiple solutions went through my head. Maybe it's a child underneath the cluster of hands.

"Maybe somebody is standing behind the guy in orange. Then I saw it."

Another joked: "This is literally the first time I've seen camouflage work."

It's not the first optical illusion to have the internet completely stumped.

If you can spot the real owl hidden in this optical illusion within two seconds then you're a genius.

Elsewhere, a shopper shared something VERY unusual on a supermarket shelf so can YOU spot the cake hidden in plain sight?
